   Just became aware of Fred's passing today
   with sadness. After it had a little time to settle
   in my mind, the sadness transformed into
   a great appreciation for having Fred in my life. It amazed me to consider that vertually every time I spoke or met with Fred, that I came away feeling better about the world. Was the effect
   of his always being kind to me and others around us!

   Fred would give you the shirt of his back. His laugh genuine, deep and rippling to others to be shared. Your light is missed.
